Motion Blurr, what is it for ?

Featured Replies

How Motion Blurr should be configurated ?, and what is its effect and performance impact ? 

Thanks

Most of those graphics settings at the bottom are just visual effects. I turn them off. Except for the PFD refresh rate which I leave on the highest setting because I need it to be smooth and with a high refresh rate..

Performance impact is low, but I turn it off now.

I used to run with it on, as I was convinced at one time it 'smoothed' things out when looking around.  It does to an extent, but it looks unrealistic now.  It's fairly useless.

A few updates ago, maybe as far back as the summer, it seems Asobo adjusted the way the sim sends the image to the screen. 

It sends it more directly now by bypassing certain graphics routines.  I am not sure of the exact technicalities, but it helped the frame pacing and I had slightly smoother graphics after that, so I turned motion blur off and I have never used it since.

Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

I believe it may try to simulate the blurring that occurs in our peripheral vision when we're looking at a scene like a runway during takeoff or landing. That part of the image near the periphery is blurred due to the rapid relative motion of objects, while that at the center is relatively constant and hence sharp. IRL, that sensed motion in our peripheral vision can be an important cue during takeoffs and landings.

I really have no idea how well this might or might not work within MSFS. As noted by many others on this forum and elsewhere, desktop simulator software does some things well, others not so much. Personally, I don't get much sense of speed on my 24 inch screen, but imagine that if I had a screen of twice that size at the same distance from my eyes, the sensation might be very different.

With regard to the actual graphics settings, with my modest system, I set graphics to HIGH-END or MEDIUM for GA and airliners, respectively, and just leave it there. I have spent way too much time fiddling with settings in various flight sims to little or no actual avail, not counting placebo effects. YMMV, of course.

I turn it off in all my games , including MSFS. For me it is not remotely like anything I experience in real life (I have my PPL and never saw blurring while screaming down the runway in a Katana or C172), Only riding a bullet train and looking at the grass alongside the track would cause such blur. Videos of real world low-level flight in fighter jets dont show it either. Even head turning IRL doesn't have that level of blurring. It a game gimmick.

I keep it on. It blurs sudden movements when looking around instead of seeing a choppy framerate.
